    Random Crap Random Random Crap

    Not sure how many people have been suckered into thinking the MP is anything but garbage? Maybe you are just too polite to say it or think it or fearful of Ubisoft's omniscience (which they don't have by the way, they are all just knackers like alot of people)

    1) There is nothing competitive about it now - no leaderboards, no rank for Kill To Death Ratio, no Ranked Maps (maybe cos Ubi suck at making MP maps so fair do's)
    2) No playlists - I've tried so many times to play an evening on MP and end up with absolute crap maps, the same over and over, its like a playlist of 3 maps.
    3) Nothing is taken seriously - the guns are garbage, just variants of the same 10 weapons, "fun" maps are put at the forefront that are anything but fun
    4) You can't play the same teams any more - next match you are randomly put onto a team so no comradeship
    5) No hosting - if there is one thing just about everyone asked for in FC5 it was player hosting. Where is it? Ignored.
    6) Crap maps get featured - if there is someone choosing maps at Ubi they need to lay off the drugs
    7) No team spirit - anything played in MP just seems like every man for himself. That's due to the lobby system.
    8) Can;t choose your own maps - even when you happen to randomly get selected to put a map forward - you don;t have enough time to do so
    9) Can't play your own maps - no platform to play your own maps.
    10) Can't host your own maps - no choice to host a playlist of maps publicly
    11) Can't choose a host or choose a map to play - you have to play what the random people choose
    12) No hosts - just random matchmaking - no choice in deciding what game mode you want to play, who you want to play with or which map you want to play

    I mean am I the only one who speaks his mind or does nobody have the balls to actually say it how it is? This MP is the worst we have seen. FC3 was better than this and FC3 was absolutely awful. Show some bloody support for this thread.

    Am I the only one who is actually awake and can clearly see what a bag of crap this MP is?

    I will add that this "relationship" between us the community and Ubisoft is just not working. We suggested player lobbies and its been totally over-ruled by this crap? We only been asking for the last 10 years but NO Ubi, you have to do things your own way. How can you even justify this rubbish you have presented to us?

    Well, I for one am out. No more suggestions of how to make a better game, forget that and yea, who cares anyway, its just me who cares. Well, unfortunately thats what Ubi think of everyone, I just happen to be a fan of the series and get let down every time because they cannot see the light. Its right in front of them - you give them a torch and the idiots don't know what to do with it. .

    I see the sales are beyond belief. I guess they will be patting themselves on the back, job well done, another 10% of the company game. Well guess what its a crap MP. No denying that. And it will always be a crap MP and everyone knows its a crap MP. It will be a crap MP forever, put that in your trophy case

    Fully agree. I walked away from MP back in Far Cry 3 when they took vehicles away. Wtfx10! Vehicles were amazing in FC2. But they decided no vehicles somehow equated to tighter team base gameplay. Now they’ve swept that concept off the table with randomized team building. I just don’t get how they continually take both the community’s feedback and the proven mechanics (that work!) and go running in the opposite direction. Who is making those choices? Do they not play the games they make? I love this franchise, yet it drives me mad trying to decipher the mindset it takes to repeatedly bastardize it rather than build on what works.

    You're not the only one highly disappointed by how bad they handled the mp. I've been pissed ever since my first game when I realized I couldn't host the map I spent 30+ hours on. My theory is a lot of the people who worked on it were lazy 21-year old interns who don't know or care about the history of Farcry and have no clue about proper game design. It just feels amateurish. Oh, and I'm glad someone else sees how crap many of the featured maps are. There are maybe 4 maps that are halfway decent, like Town Riot and Artic.
